=== Gender neutrality in Spanish === [[File:Madrid - Acampada Sol - 110521 192211.jpg|right|upright|thumb|Protester with banner showing "La revolución está en nosotr@s"]] {{Main|Gender neutrality in Spanish}} In [[Spanish language|Spanish]], where many words end in "-o" when in the masculine [[Grammatical gender|gender]] and end "-a" in the feminine, @ is sometimes used as a [[gender-neutral pronoun|gender-neutral]] substitute for the default "o" ending.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Martell-Otero |first=Loida |date=Fall 2009 |title=Doctoral Studies as Llamamiento, or How We All Need to be 'Ugly Betty' |journal=Perspectivas |pages=84–106}}</ref> For example, the word ''amigos'' traditionally represents not only male friends, but also a mixed group, or where the genders are not known. The proponents of gender-inclusive language would replace it with ''amig@s'' in these latter two cases, and use ''amigos'' only when the group referred to is all-male and ''amigas'' only when the group is all female. The [[Real Academia Española]] disapproves of this usage.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diccionario panhispánico de dudas |url=https://www.rae.es/dpd/ |website=«Diccionario panhispánico de dudas» |access-date=2021-04-02 |archive-date=2021-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210406113617/https://www.rae.es/dpd/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
